There are power forwards in the NHL today? Besides Iginla and Lucic, I'm struggling to think of them really...

Simmonds is a grinder with skill, but you can knock his 180-pound frame off the puck pretty easily, is he really that dominant along the boards? So...no, if Simmonds is a power forward (is he?) then that opens the door for a bunch of others, so no, he's not top 5...

But it depends, if your definition of power forward is watered down to anyone that's big then even a hosehound like Blake Wheeler is a power forward...even though he's not at all...

I don't really know who qualifies. Lucic, Malone...Hartnell? I guess Iginla fits. I guess if you go be the definition from 10-15 years ago, i'd say Ovechkin would be the close if he ever spent time working in front of the net.

See, it's weird, I don't even consider Perry a power forward...the PIMs are agitation related, he's like a agitating sniper...and even then, he's not the pest that he was when he first came into the league I don't feel...

Maybe I should re-calibrate my power forward criteria...but it's more accurate to say that they don't exist than to call David Clarkson one, IMO...

That might be true as well...no one hangs off of players like they did to, say, Jagr back in the day...a penalty would be called without batting an eyelash...I think there's a spot in the game for the big power forward types certainly, but I don't think anyone is really brought up to play that way anymore...not a lot of Cam Neely's running around, not that there ever was really...
